Thursday night’s Love Island saw Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu come to blows with newcomer Nathalia Campos in an explosive preview for the following episode.
In the short clip, the Turkish actress confronted the bombshell and asked her ‘do you have an issue with me?’, causing Nathalia to retaliate ‘Maybe you have an issue with yourself!’
It comes after the Brazilian beauty initially expressed interest in Ekin-Su’s partner Davide Sanclimenti, despite her picking Adam Collard for her first date.
Showdown: Thursday night’s Love Island saw Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu come to blows with newcomer Nathalia Campos in an explosive preview for the following episode
As the islanders chilled out with drinks during the evening, Ekin-Su called out the newcomer after becoming suspicious that there was an issue between them.
Ekin-Su asked Nathalia, ‘have you got an issue with me?’, to which she replied: ‘No I haven’t got an issue with you?’
The actress then responded: ‘Are you sure?’, prompting Nathalia to ask: ‘No why, Have you got one with me>’
Not letting the situation go, Ekin-Su reiterated: ‘I feel like you’ve got an issue with me.’
Proving that she’s just as fiery as Ekin-Su, Nathalia then quipped: ‘If I had an issue with you I’d let you know babe!’
As thing continued to become tense, Ekin-Su told her ‘nah, I feel like you have an issue with me.’
Putting down her water and glaring at Ekin-Su, Nathalia then replied: ‘Maybe you have an issue with yourself!’
The other islanders are seen gawping at the drama while Ekin-Su seethed, with the scene cutting away.
It comes after Nathalia previously remarked that she had ‘here eye’ on Davide upon entering the villa, while she also mocked Ekin-Su’s infamous crawling moment with Jay Younger during a tour with the Italian hunk.
Meanwhile during Thursday’s episode, Ekin-Su was picked to go on a date by newcomer Reece Ford, with the stunner immediately friendzoning the newbie.
The night before, as Ekin-Su’s partner Davide Sanclimenti gave a tour of the villa for new bombshells Nathalia Campos and Lacey Edwards, Reece, 23, pulled Ekin-Su for a chat.
The model, from Coventry, was quick to admit his attraction to Ekin-Su, telling her: ‘You intrigue me, that’s why I wanted to speak to you first.’
The following day, Lacey received a text inviting her and the other three bombshells – Reece, Nathalia and Jamie Allen – to choose one Islander to take on a date.

Cheeky: As the four new bombshells were invited to pick an Islander to take on a date, Reece choses Ekin-Su, prompting Deji Adeniyi to say: ‘You’ve got balls my boy’
Reece chose Ekin-Su, prompting single Islander Deji Adeniyi to say, ‘you’ve got balls my boy’, referring to Ekin-Su’s connection with Davide.
But as they left the villa for their date, Davide insisted that he doesn’t see Reece as ‘competition’.
He said: ‘I am calm and chill… I don’t see competition.’
And it appeared that Davide was right to be confident as Ekin-Su wasted no time in shutting Reece down.

Getting to know one another: The night before, Reece, 23, had pulled Ekin-Su for a chat as Davide gave new bombshells Lacey and Nathalia a tour of the villa
Breaking it to him that she was not into him, the Turkish beauty explained that though she was ‘falttered’, ‘my head, heart and soul is with Davide’, ading that she was ‘100%’ with the Italian hunk.
Proving just how much she liked Davide, upon her return to the vila, she gave him a reassuring hug and gave him some flowers that she picked for him.
Meanwhile, Nathalia choses Adam Collard for her date – despite expressing interest in Davide – as Lacey picked Deji and Jamie picked Danica Taylor.
And while Adam and Ekin-Su shut down down their dates, things heated up for Danica and Jamie as they shared a cheeky snog, while Dami locked lips with Lacey.
The dates followed a steamy game of truth or dare the previous night, in which the newcomers got to know their fellow islanders on a more intimate basis.
Truth or dare? Breaking the ice between the new arrivals Jamie, Lacey, Nathalia Reece, and the islanders, were invited to play the game upon arriving into the villa
Jamie Allen was dared is to ‘kiss the girl you fancy the most’, with the professional footballer planting one on Danica.
Returning the favour, the dancer then chose him for her dare – which challenged her to perform a lap dance routine for the boy she is the most attracted to.
Elsewhere in the game, new girl Nathalia Campos is dared to kiss three boys – sharing a three-second snog with Davide, Adam and Deji.
